Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

You know how they say there is no such thing as loyalty and pro sports. You know they say that right?

Whoever they are, whoever they are they're right.

And you don't have to take it from me, take it instead from Chris Paul.

After this week, he would know better than anybody, at least if you believe what he's saying this week about his trade to the Wizards.

The Bradley Beal swap allegedly, supposedly, makes a super team in Phoenix.

Never mind that we were all led to believe that they already had their super team in Phoenix. Never mind that we were all led to believe that they already had their super team in Phoenix the day Katie showed up.

But that's neither here nor there because right now there's more and more chatter about CP3 right now, both about CP3's future and let's just

call them interesting things that are being said about the trade.

So Paul was already booked on Good Morning America yesterday

as a total coincidence because he's got a book that's dropping. So total total coincidence, really fortuitous for Good Morning America, but very awkward

for the Nutpuncher.

Because we now know, at least according to him that he found out that he was dealt on

his flight to New York for that appearance which is exactly what he told them on GMA when he sat down to speak with them.

I was surprised too.

I found out on the plane yesterday flying here for this.

You know, it's in this league anything can

happen so you just figure out what's next you literally found out on the plane

absolutely wow you don't put him any further he's trying to be nice Absolutely. Wow. What did your first reaction?

Don't push him any further.

He's trying to be nice about it.

Yeah, he is, right.
